Based on the following description of XBL from the spam database listing at http://www.declude.com/Articles.asp?ID=97

 

SBL Exploits Block List. This contains the same data as the CBL test. Can be combined with SBL by using sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org. Lists IP addresses of exploited servers. Note that this is not the same as the XBL spam test, run by another organization (which is why this needs to be referred to as "SBL-XBL" rather than just "XBL").

 

I am using the following in my global file;

 

SBL      ip4r       sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org     *           7          0

 

Is this the correct way to combine the tests?

 

Thanks,

John

It is the same as CBL, so be careful not to include both.  XBL/CBL is very accurate, primarily targets spam zombies, and should hit on about 40% of your spam.
